Maintaining Cell Reference According To Its Physical Position From Formula Cell?
Jan 29, 2014I need to make a cell display the contents of the cell immediately below it, regardless of if there are rows inserted at the referenced row or above or below it on the worksheet. ALSO I need to do this at several additional cell locations down the worksheet. Such as : A1 displays A2, A4 displays A5, A7 displays A8 etc.
Example: I want A1 to display whatever is in the cell immediately below it. In this case A2. I need to be able to insert several rows at row 2 and have whatever new value is now in the A2 position displayed in A1.
After the rows are inserted I need the cell that was in position A4 to continue to display the contents of the cell below it.
I tried using the formula in A1 of: =INDIRECT("A2") and it works good except when I insert the rows my similar formulas below the area where the rows were inserted continue to refer to the specific original cell and not the one positioned now below it.
Excel 2010 :: Maintaining Format In A Cell When Using Formula
Jan 10, 2014I just upgraded to Excel2010 and noticed that if I calculate percentages resulting from other formulas, the result displays as a percentage with 15 decimal places and it ignores the format of the cell. My guess is that since formulas are being used in cells A1,B1, and C1, Excel is ignoring the format. When I hard code the numbers, I obtain the desired result.
Is there a way to change the default of 15 decimal places for formula results involving inputs that use formulas in their own creation? (outside of the Round function in each cell? Within Options?)
The data looks like this:
A1 = formula resulting in 1.76%
B1 = formula resulting in 1.90%
C1 = formula resulting in 1.69%
D1 = C1*B1/A1 resulting in 1.8218147382920100%
The desired result is 1.82%.
Excel 2010 :: Making Hard Coded Cell Dynamic While Maintaining Original Content
May 16, 2014I pulled a set of financial statements from a database into Excel. All of the values are hard coded but I would like to make them dynamic, while maintaining the original content. For example, If cell C3 is a revenue figure for 2012 ($1,000) I would like to link it to cell C5, which will be a currency conversion rate (2.0). So I would like cell C3 to read =1000*C5, which would equal 2000, and for cell D3 to equal 2013 sales*D5, etc. I would also like this to go across a specified range so that I can also change operating expenses, taxes, etc over a number of columns (dates) that I define, all linking to the conversion rate for the given year. Having another tab where you link and anchor is an option but I would prefer something in VBA where I can qickly include this functionality with new workbooks that I download.
I am using Excel 2010.
Conditional Formatting - Cell Color Based On Range Of Cell Color
Aug 9, 2013Summary of performance of various products against target is as follows,
Product vs Target

Is there a way to automate this?
Maintaining Row Format
Feb 28, 2007I have a table where alternate rows are formatted with interiror colorindex 15. Macros will result in 1 or more of the rows in the table being hidden (this can be consequtive rows).
Obviously, when a row is hidden (unless that results in 2 consequtive rows hidden) the alternating row format no longer works (ie either 2 grey rows or 2 nofill rows together)
I am struggling with the code to set the format when a row is hidden. I loop through the table to set format, fine if no row hidden. But when row is hidden everything I try to do to take account of the hidden row results in an endless loop when the hidden row is encountered.
Sort Maintaining Format
Jan 1, 2007I have a spreadsheet that has tons of entries for revenues and expenses. Some cells on the rows with revenues have a different format than these same cells on the rows with expenses.
The problem is that, when I sort the rows to organize them by date, Excel seems to only organize the values in the cells, screwing up all the formats, mixing the revenues format with the expenses format.
Is there any way to organize the information maintaining each cell's formats?
Maintaining A Sorted List In 2003
Jan 27, 2009I have an Excel sheet with a list of data, which is likely to change frequently and has to remain in sorted order.
Requiring that users of the spreadsheet maintain the data in this way (i.e. sort it every time it changes) is a really bad solution and I'd rather not use a macro if I can avoid it (too much stuff can go wrong).
Is there a good way of doing this? At the moment, I've implemented merge-sort within a sheet, which works, but is a heavyweight solution, taking 6 columns per merge-sort iteration (so 60 columns to sort 1024 rows, 96 columns to sort 65536 rows). I could try to compact it, but my head was starting to implode programming it even with as few as 6 columns.
There must be a better way of getting Excel to maintain an automatically sorted list.
Copying A Value Whilst Maintaining Format
Mar 2, 2009Cell A1 could contain either % value (eg 50.0%) or could contain a numeric value (eg 50.0). (It's input is written by a macro that performs a sorting function, hence the mix of % and absolutes).
I need to copy the contents of A1 to cell B1 with a simple formula "=A1"
The problem is that Cell B1 will either show 0.5 or 50.0 depending on whether A1 is a % or number, respectively.
Doesn anyone know how I can output in B1 with the format from A1?
Rounding Values And Maintaining Total
Oct 10, 2006I need to round a number of values to 2 decimal places. Problem is this sometimes results in the total changing as the values after the 2 decimal places make up the remainder. I need to maintain the total. See attached..
Has anyone done this before? Probably something very simple but for some reason it's not coming to me. Well not without vba anyway..
Excel 2007 :: Changing Bar Series Color To Adjacent Cell Font Color
Aug 8, 2012I am trying to use VBA in Excel 2007 to change bar chart series colors. I have found a few posts that link it to a cell background, but I'm struggling to find one that does the font color.
It would be great if I could change the bar chart series to match the color of the text in the A column, so that if I highlighted the value in A1 and changed the text color to orange for whatever reason, the chart updates the value of 1.2 to an orange bar (see below).
T. A1 B1
Sample 1 1.2
Sample 2 2.1
Sample 3 1.7
Sample 4 5.6

View 3 Replies View RelatedColor Cell Fonts Based On Text Color Of TextBox Controls On UserForm
Apr 11, 2008I have got a userform with lots of controls,
One of the action's on a large group of the controls is the same but except for one number
here is an example
If TextBox107.ForeColor = 255 Then ActiveCell. Offset(0, 53).Font.ColorIndex = 3
If TextBox108.ForeColor = 255 Then ActiveCell.Offset(0, 54).Font.ColorIndex = 3
If TextBox109.ForeColor = 255 Then ActiveCell.Offset(0, 55).Font.ColorIndex = 3
This makes a cell that correlates to the textbox red if the text in the textbox is red.
Now, I loads of these textboxes that all need to run the same code with just the Offset value one digit higher than the last and I was hoping I could create a loop to avoid a huge block of code but I can't work out how to make a constant that will +1 with each loop.
Also, can I assume that a loop will start with the control with the lowest number i.e. Textbox1 and then work its way through the rest of them in order?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSetting Color Of Range Based On Adjacent Cell Color
Nov 1, 2009This is probably elementary, but I'm struggling and would appreciate any help as I have very little excel VBA experience to draw from.
I have assembled code which changes the cell color based on a value change in Column A. Column A will contain many different groups of repeating values. This code works well and and I have been able to figure out how to limit the number of colors to only 2. The end result is each set of similar values in column A is visually grouped by one of two alternating colors.
The number rows in the data set is variable as the data set is extracted from SAP. The number of columns is fixed.
What I want to do now is set the cell color in columns B through F the same color that was assigned to the row in column A. So if cell A3 is set to colorindex = 6, then I want to set the range of cells B3 to E3 to the same color.
Here is the code I am using to set the color of the cells in Column A:

Apr 18, 2008I have two columns. The first one (A) contains cells that have different Fill colors. The second column (B) contains text adjacent to the colored cells. I am trying to change the color of the text in the second column (B) to the corresponding color in the adjacent cell in the first column (A). I don't think conditional formating works well in this situation. I believe the solution would be some sort of macro.

Excel 2007 :: Sorting While Maintaining Subtotals?

is there a way to do this? I don't want a macro because then the whole project will be done as a macro. this is just a small part of what i am doing.
sample included. my goal is to sort by column F (ABS value) high to low so that rows 8-13 are together and maintain the subtotal and on top, then rows 34-36 are together and maintain the subtotal and are next, etc.

Color Cells Based On Color Of Preceeding Cell
Nov 18, 2007I am looking for a very simple script that will achieve the following:
On the clicking of a button, Select and shade in a cell yellow, delete the yellow shading of the previous cell. The shading & selection should move up a column of cells, 1 at a time, in the following order:
From B10 to B9, then B9 to B8, B8 to B7 etc until the selection and shading is at B2. Once it is at B2 subsequent clicks will simply keep it at B2 (the top). Thus after 8 clicks the shading & selection should travel from B10 to B2, with only 1 cell being shaded yellow and selected at any one time.
Adding And Deleting Rows In Worksheet While Maintaining Formulas?
Mar 26, 2014I have a Productivity Report that contains very basic formulas that provide totals for 4 columns (B6:E6) and an average for one column (F). I have included two command buttons, one to add a new row and the other to delete a row.
I need to be able to add or delete rows depending on how many employees' productivity I will be tracking on any given week; each row represents a separate employee. I need the following functionality out of my form:
1) formula in column F needs to copy and paste with each new line
2) when a new line is copied and pasted I need the contents to be cleared
3) I need the user to be blocked from deleting the first row (3 on this form) in the table
The code I'm using for my "Add" button is:
[Code].....
The code I'm using for my "Delete" button is:
[Code] .....
The buttons add and delete rows as I'd like them to but content is not clearing, with each row added the contents provide a sub total. I've tried various lines of code (some more complicated and some less) before I recorded my own macro (see above).
